I'm completely confused when it comes to choosing breads and noodles.... Any help would be greatly appreciated

The app list these as neutral:Wheat/refined/unbleachedWheat/white flourWheat bread/sprouted

But then these as avoid:Wheat/gluten flourWhat/whole grainWheat/whole wheat Wheat branWheat germ

Are they not all the same or very close to being so? What would make one neutral over the other??

I don't have a whole foods local, is there anything that I can purchase off the shelf for a occasional sandwich or wrap? I don't eat them often but it would be nice to enjoy a BLT ( minus tomato ) or taco with my family when they are eating them

If a type B is going to eat wheat, 100% sprouted is the best choice. Second best choice is white, unbleached, without all the chemicals (read the ingredients). For a non-secretor, any wheat that is not sprouted can be problematic.

Whole wheat is not good for type B's.

B's can not digest the skin on wheat, they might get colon cancer from it.

White wonder bread is Ok.

Being here is invaluable, but not enough. We need ALL the Doctors. I needed them for a very small cancer spot-I could never feel!!! Please do your mammograms! Doing so saved me from cancer later on. I am grateful! Thanks for learning from my experience! I was lucky! I wish the same for YOU!

There are white breads available that are closer to real food than Wonder Bread. If a person is going to eat a white flour product, look for a simple ingredient list containing unbleached flour, an acceptable oil, such as extra virgin olive oil- or no oil at all, and salt (ideally seasalt). Maybe yeast or sourdough starter. And support the bakeries that make an effort to create real food. Fresh artisan breads, sourdough breads, Italian or French loaves.

I am finally at a point where I could have a sandwich without getting sick. It took me almost 1-1.25 years on the diet to not react to flour. Prior to the diet, I would get asthma attacks and serious sinus infections from eating wheat. After a while, it turned into hives.

Even if I know I can handle more wheat since my gut became stronger, I do not chance it. I would have at most 2 pieces of bread in my sandwich and don't go beyond that. I noticed that I do better with certain noodles while I get a mild runny nose with others.

When I choose to have bread, which is almost daily, I make sure that my other meals are 100% diamonds to compensate for the avoid I am putting into my body.

Prior to my 1.25 year wheat fast, I had to be completely wheat and gluten free or I would be sick as a dog for weeks. Coffee, which has gluten type receptors, would cause my body to react as if I ate a serving of wheat. So, anything that had to do with gluten was completely avoided until recently.

I wouldn't be so sure that white wonder bread is OK. The white flour part is OK, but it likely contains other avoids such as corn syrup and soybean oil, plus nasty chemicals.

I'm not familiar with local brands of much- I buy spelt bread in Trader Joe's and I do a lot of baking; I don't purchase any other breads or wraps. I'd suggest simply going to the stores near you and read labels carefully to see what's available.

It's definitely fine to freeze bread and take out 1 serving at a time as needed. I routinely keep spelt bread in the freezer- I make my kids sandwiches with frozen bread before school and they're thawed by lunchtime. If you're taking out wraps to eat immediately for "taco night" then you may need to warm them up a bit before serving, or allow half an hour or so for it to thaw before eating.
